The Bean Scene

It’s been so hot, and the humidity hangs like a thick damp blanket.  The locusts are buzzing loud and furious, letting everyone know August is here. And it’s odd, but July already seems so long ago.

I haven’t posted in a while. It’s not because I didn’t want to. I’ve missed you. I hope you forgive my absence, but I’m being held slave to this magical, metal, hissing Beast…

The beans!  They’re insane… And they keep coming! Covering my table and counter tops like piles of wild, fat green earthworms.

But I know exactly how to tame them…

Chop like mad and tuck them away into the pantry for later…

No worries. I only have about 30 or so jars left to fill.  I hope. With beans anyway…  ~A
